ReplyDeleteThe letter to the editor in "I hope Trump was worth it" is right on. Also enjoyed the customizable Presidential Pardon and the article on ancient Greek music.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the head's up, DWVR! Fixed now.
ReplyDeleteJames Comey hits the nail on the head, "I've never met a perfect person".
ReplyDeleteThat's a good thing to keep in mind in public, and in the mirror.
The book 1984 has a very important message.
ReplyDeleteTo find out the truth, go back to original documents. I would include declassified files with that as well.
This truth often has absolutely nothing to do with what we are taught now.
By going back to original documents I have learned that Capone was never questioned about the St. Valentine's Massacre by the FBI or Chicago police. And discovered who the real killers were ( hint: what the witnesses said they saw is what they saw).
That Joe McCarthy had 2 lists, everyone on the second was arrested. He also never gave any number at his Wheeling speech, that's just a lie.
That the Communist Party USA worked with the German American Bund from 1938 to mid 1941 on a series of crippling strikes on the West Coast in the military industrial factory system to keep FDR from upgrading weapons while declaring Hitler to be a new form of socialism.
Everyone can read into 1984 what they want, but it is actually a model for discovering the truth- go back to original documents and you will find our true reality.
